Trek has unveiled the newest addition to their line of touring bikes with 1120—an incredibly capable backcountry rig built around 29+ wheels, mid-fat tires, and specially-designed racks. With unlimited off-road capability, secure packing options, and mountain-ready spec, 1120 is ready for the wildest backcountry adventures and is perfect for multi-night bikepacking outings.

Wide, 29+ SUNringlé Duroc 50 rims support the super-tacky Bontrager Chupacabra 3” tubeless-ready tires. Shimano’s new SLX drivetrain provides an ultra-wide 11-46T gear range, allowing riders to confidently tackle steep climbs while carrying a full load. The Race Face Aeffect crank uses a durable, cinch-type steel chainring, and SRAM Level T brakes with 180mm rotors keep things under control on even the steepest descents. 1120’s trail-ready spec package is rounded out with Bontrager’s Drop Line dropper post and a swept-back Crivitz handlebar that provides a more natural wrist angle for extra comfort on long overland rides.

Carry every essential

1120 features low touring mounts, and its proprietary rear rack and included bag system allow riders to carry a pair of standard dry bags (8L recommended) low to the ground for optimal handling. The rear rack also allows items like tents or sleeping pads to be secured on top. 1120’s proprietary front rack maximizes usable space between the handlebar and top of the wheel, allowing riders to pack lots of essentials within easy reach. Additionally, triple mounts on each fork leg accept virtually any bolt-on carry solution. Both racks can be removed with four screws, making removal an easy 5-minute job. The 1120 frame also has conventional rack mounts so that a full-size rack and panniers can be easily installed if the day’s adventure calls for extra storage.

1120 is available in one model. It is currently available for purchase throughout Trek’s wide network of retail partners in the United States and Canada. It is available in 15.5˝, 17.5˝, 19.5˝, and 21.5˝ sizes. MSRP $2,499.
